Pinball in Idaho

Idaho is home to many quirky and interesting attractions, and the Idaho Pinball Museum is no exception. This large pinball arcade and museum is located just outside of Boise in Garden City, ID. With over 70 active pinball machines on location, there's something for everyone. Best of all, the games are on free play with a donation at the door. In addition to offering leagues and tournaments, the Idaho Pinball Museum is also a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the appreciation of pinball. So if you're in the area, be sure to check it out. Just remember to BYOB and bring your own food. Trust us, it's worth it.

Jeremy's Downtown Arcade in Nampa Idaho is the place to be for pinball aficionados in Nampa. The arcade features an impressive collection of machines, boasting 13 unique pinball titles such as Capcom's Breakshot and Gottlieb's Surf 'N Safari and Gold Wings. That the games are on free play with only a small cover fee at the door makes Jeremy's Downtown Arcade an attractive destination for players in search of some arcade action. The joint also offers a range of classic and modern video arcade games, but unlike other venues one may find elsewhere it has no restaurant attached nor any form of bar - Jeremy's Downtown Arcade is all about the games, nothing else!

Spacebar also offers a full bar with craft beers, cocktails, wine and more.

Woodland Empire is a small craft brewery and taproom located in Boise, Idaho. Woodland Empire is your typical brewcade (Brewery + Arcade) with a focus on its six well-curated pinball machines, including newer Sterns such as Deadpool and underrated classics like Data East's Lethal Weapon 3. But perhaps what really sets Woodland Empire apart is that you can bring your furry friend; Woodland Empire is totally dog friendly! No food on site, but you can order from Manfred's Catering, just next door, and they'll deliver your meal to your seat.
